"Your Excellency seems to have anticipated my arrival?" After all, Xin Lingjun still asked the first doubt in his heart.

"Of course." Pingyuanjun on the side replied without any care.

This answer really shocked Xin Lingjun. If Zhao Guo had known about his arrival in advance, would Zhao Guo already know the purpose of his trip?

It should be said that Xin Lingjun's worries are not unreasonable.

If you can know your itinerary, the biggest possibility is that you have a detailed work by your side, although you have not revealed the purpose of this trip to the people around you, but what about the king?

Will the king tell the people around him that he wants to take the land of Zhou Wangji on this trip?

And the people around the king, will they also be Zhao Guo's meticulous work?

After thinking about it, Xin Lingjun felt that it was wrong, no one knew about his departure from the mission in advance, and even now, in addition to the deputy envoy, only the two wrestlers who followed him knew.

And the deputy envoy was far away in the mission, and it was impossible for him to know how fast or slow he was going, and even if he was informant, Pingyuan Jun could not know his arrival so accurately;

As for the wrestlers, not to mention, he didn't even tell them the destination of the trip, and the two of them were always under their noses, and they didn't have the time and space to transmit the message at all.

Just when Xinling Jun was puzzled, Pingyuan Jun on the side laughed out loud and said, "Don't guess, you can only blame Qin for this matter."

"Qin State?" Xinlingjun was even more confused, what does this matter have to do with the Qin State, and now the Qin State is still licking his wounds in the pass! Where will you take care of the affairs between Zhao and Wei?

As if seeing Xinlingjun's doubts, Pingyuan Jun immediately explained again: "Back then, my king went north to Daijun for some reason, passed by Yanhe City, and made the Qin general Sima mistakenly led a sharp soldier to intercept and kill, can the king know?"

"I've heard a little, this is not King Zhao's strategy, isn't it true that hundreds of sharp soldiers from the Qin army are all ambushed?" Xin Lingjun frowned and continued to ask.

"It's my king's policy, it's just for the sake of face. It can't be said that the territory of my Zhao Kingdom is like a no-man's land by the Qin army." Pingyuan Jun shook his head and said, "And this group of sharp soldiers of the Qin army entered my Zhao realm in the name of the mission, and crossed my city without knowing it."

"Your Majesty's Intentions?" Shin Ling-kun seemed to understand a little.

"Yes, of course." Pingyuan Jun nodded and said, "Since then, the envoys of various countries will be closely monitored when they enter my Zhao realm."

"Of course, it is not to restrict the freedom of the envoys, and it is impossible for the scouts to take care of everything in order to buy, meet, etc., but the number of envoys is strictly checked." Pingyuanjun then looked at Xinlingjun with a smile and said, "Your Excellency left the mission without permission, and only on that day, my meticulous work has been discovered and reported to me."

There is no need to say more about the rest of the words. Xinlingjun came for state affairs, got rid of the brigade and hurried to Handan, he must have wanted to win over a few more courtiers as helpers before meeting King Zhao, and Pingyuanjun as Xinlingjun's brother-in-law, Xinlingjun of course would not miss it.

Naturally, Pingyuan-kun was also waiting for Xinling-kun's arrival at home.

"I see." When Xin Lingjun heard this, he smiled helplessly.

I thought that I had come from a long distance and did it unconsciously, but I didn't want to just deceive my own family, and Zhao Guo had already mastered his every move.

However, this also made Xinlingjun breathe a sigh of relief, after all, as long as it is not a fine work, it is not a big problem.

Xinlingjun, who was a little relieved, immediately followed Pingyuanjun to the back hall for dinner, and when the sister and brother saw each other, it was inevitable that there would be a sigh again, and it was not until the evening that the meal was successfully eaten.

At this time, the porter was in charge, and the king sent someone to inform him that after the king of Xinling had eaten, he would enter the palace with the king of Pingyuan.

"Your Majesty, then let's go together." Pingyuan-kun said to Xinling-jun with a smile.

"It's fine." Xin Lingjun nodded silently in agreement.

Obviously, regardless of whether Pingyuanjun discussed it with King Zhao or not, Zhao Kuo's operation can be regarded as completely blocking Xinlingjun's other roads

He's dead. Today's Xinling Jun has no choice at all, so he can only enter the palace to meet King Zhao.

And Zhao Kuo's purpose in doing this is also obvious, first, to control the problems of Wei to a minimum, and second, to protect his courtiers.

The human heart is the most untested thing.

In case under the temptation of Xinling Jun, his courtiers made a different choice from themselves, which would obviously be a loss for Zhao State.

Soon, Pingyuan Jun and Xinling Jun rushed to the palace of King Zhao.

Under the leadership of the eunuch order, the two also soon came to the council hall.

Familiar with the way, Pingyuan Jun immediately took Xinling Jun into it.

In the huge palace, Zhao Kuo sat on the main seat, the seat of his right hand was still empty, obviously reserved for Pingyuan Jun, and Lian Po was still among them, sitting in the position of Zhao Kuo's left hand, drinking wine with Zhao Kuo.

It seems that Lian Po and Zhao Kuo should have a good conversation.

Seeing this, Xin Lingjun's heart couldn't help but feel a little excited. If Lian Po, who brought the words, didn't anger King Zhao, does it mean that there might be drama on his trip? !

It's just that what Xin Lingjun doesn't know is that Lian Po doesn't need to bring anything at all, everything is already in Zhao Kuo's calculations. Even the current meeting is obviously deliberate.

"I have seen my king."

"Foreign minister, I have seen King Zhao."

No matter what, Pingyuanjun and Xinlingjun still clasped their fists in unison and saluted.

"Please get up." Zhao Kuo gave him a hand, and then said, "Take a seat."

"Thank you, king."

"Xie Zhao, King."

Immediately, the two of them sat down on Zhao Kuo's right hand.

The seat was decided, and the eunuch Ling on the side immediately served meat and wine, and then slowly retreated with the eunuchs.

Seeing that there were no more idle people in the hall, Zhao Kuo looked at Xinling Jun, and then said straight to the point: "The old general Lian Po has already informed this king of the whole story."

Hearing this, Xin Lingjun suddenly became nervous.

He was also a little surprised, King Zhao actually put things on the table at the beginning, shouldn't he say a few words of greeting first?

While Xinlingjun was waiting for Zhao Kuo's offer with full attention, Zhao Kuo's words changed, but the greetings that Xinlingjun expected had arrived.

"Nothing else." Zhao Kuo picked up the wine lord beside him, and then saluted in the direction of Xinlingjun, and said, "The 400,000 soldiers of the Zhao army on the battlefield of Changping on behalf of this king, thank you Xinlingjun."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine and drank it all.

Seeing this, Pingyuan Jun and Lian Po on the side immediately picked up the wine lord in front of him, faced Xinlingjun, raised it high, and said, "Thank you Xinlingjun."

Today's only two of the most powerful Zhao State triumvirate toast, so what else to say, Xin Lingjun immediately hurriedly picked up the wine lord, and then drank it all.

Putting down the wine, Xin Lingjun hurriedly said modestly: "The work of the little end, what a lot of worry, thank you King Zhao, I still remember the friendship of the year."

"Of course this king has to remember." Zhao Kuo immediately put down the wine lord and said slowly: "In the battle of the year, if it weren't for Xinlingjun's mediation and personal rescue of the army, I would have died for a long time. It's a pity that Changping was in a hurry back then, and this king was guilty back then, and he couldn't say thank you to Xinling Jun, I deeply regret it."

"King Zhao praised it." Xin Lingjun was obviously a little dizzy from this high hat.

Obviously, he hadn't realized what King Zhao was doing.

And Zhao Kuo's words quickly sounded again: "Come, Xinling Jun, for the battle of Changping that year, drink and win!"

As he spoke, another batch of turbid wine hurriedly poured down.

There was no way, King Zhao toasted, and the three people present immediately added drinks and drank them all.

After two glasses of turbid wine, Xin Lingjun's face immediately became a little flushed, and even his head was a little hot.

This may not only be the relationship between the two turbid wines, the so-called wine is not intoxicating, everyone is drunk, and if you can get such a high-standard reception from King Zhao, I am afraid that the world will only believe in Lingjun alone.

Not to mention the change of other envoys, even if the King of Wei is in person, the King of Zhao may not be able to toast continuously.

It's just that King Zhao's enthusiasm is a little too enthusiastic.

Putting down the wine jue, Zhao Kuo spoke again, and said, "This friendship of Xinlingjun will always be remembered by my Zhao Kingdom, no matter what the situation of Zhao Wei is in the future, Xinlingjun will always be the most honored guest of my Zhao Kingdom. Come, drink to win."

Hearing this, Xin Lingjun was immediately startled, the heat brought by the two glasses of turbid wine just now dissipated instantly, and was replaced by a terrifying chill.

How so?

The personal friendship will always be there, but what about the friendship between Zhao and Wei?!

Immediately, Xin Lingjun, who reacted quickly, responded to Zhao Kuo while giving himself a full knight: "King Zhao is too polite, Zhao Wei has the same origin, and the Zhao State I saved is to rescue the Wei State, and it is my duty to do so."

Xinlingjun's meaning is very clear, there is only national friendship between us, and it was I, Xinlingjun, who rescued Zhao, but in the final analysis, it was Wei who saved Zhao.

This friendship, if Zhao Guo recognizes it, then it has to be recognized by Wei State!

Saying that, Xin Lingjun also drank it all immediately, and did not give Zhao Kuo time to object at all.

Zhao Kuo naturally heard the meaning of Xinlingjun's words, but Zhao Kuo was not annoyed, this was just a game and a ladder.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Kuo knew it was time to start talking about business.

Immediately, Zhao Kuo put down the wine jue, looked at Xinling Jun again, and then said, "In that case, let's also talk about what the King of Wei invites now."

Hearing this, Xin Lingjun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to explain in detail the reason for Wei State's request for land.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuo waved his hand lightly and said, "I know what the King of Wei wants, and I can guess seven or eight points of what the king wants to say, and it is really useless to say more."

"This." When Xin Lingjun heard this, he was suddenly a little anxious, he didn't let him speak, how could he convince King Zhao, and immediately Xin Lingjun's eyes looked at General Lian Po opposite.

It's just that Lian Po has a calm face, as if he has nothing to do with him at this time.

Facing Xin Lingjun's inquiring gaze, Lian Po didn't say anything, and he didn't even mean to look at Xin Lingjun.

Helplessly, Xinlingjun wanted to look at Pingyuan Jun on the side again, and at this time, Zhao Kuo spoke lightly and said, "The land of Zhou Wangji is not impossible to give to Wei State."

Hearing this, Xin Lingjun raised his head again in surprise and looked at Zhao Kuo.

He knew that as long as Zhao Kuo could loosen his mouth, the rest would be nothing more than a matter of price. As for the price, Xinlingjun believes that for the sake of this Zhou Wangji land, the King of Wei will be able to loosen his mouth - isn't it just grain, and the people will suffer in the coming year.

It's a pity that just as King Wei loves this land deeply, Zhao Kuo, as a person of later generations, doesn't he have an obsession with the land!

What Zhao Kuo wanted was far more than Xin Lingjun imagined.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuo immediately continued: "However, the widow also needs to explain to the subjects of my Zhao State, after all, the land of Zhou Wangji was slashed by my Zhao army with a sword, and even the widow cannot insult it. That is, Xinlingjun, you have come in person, and if you change someone else, this king has already been sent outside the country."

Zhao Kuo once again found a step for himself, and only then did he see the dagger......
